Little Sun (LP)
Charlie Parr
Amoeba Review
Charlie Parr's Little Sun is a questing, raw, and gripping album. The Smithsonian Folkways label is the perfect home for Parr's Northwoods take on the blues; the tracks are timeless, vividly-written, and rank among the genre's best. Whether Parr is getting celebratory on the rootsy, let-the-good-times-roll "Boombox" or leaning into the beautiful desolation of grey days on "Bear Head Lake," these tracks get to the heart of what it's like to be human. Little Sun is one of those albums that just might change your life.
